Press [STOP/PLAY] to start demo song playback.

To interrupt playback, press [STOP/PLAY] again. Listening to the demo song, you can modify the volume level and/or effects of each Part. To modify values, follow the same procedure as you use for “Playing a demo song” (p.8).

If you interrupt song playback, a “+” symbol may appear at the side of the displayed measure number (M=). This indicates that the song is stopped in the middle of a measure.
